Portal (PC)

Posted Friday, 04 January 2008 by Andreas Zecher

Surprisingly, Valve’s Portal (part of The Orange Box) did run quite well on my low-end PC. While some people complained that it is too short, I am actually happy with the fact that you can play through it in one or two sessions. I just don’t have as much time to play games as I had as a kid anymore. However, Portal is actually longer than you’ll think at first, and it does a good job in playing with your expectations through the whole game. The puzzles are mind-bending and challenging, but never unfair. A slight motion sickness might occur, though. I am also going to spoil that the end boss is really really cool. But you’ll properly have played it already.
